Depending on the context “work with” could mean collaboration with a co-worker, or if you are a carpenter you “work with” your hands/tools.
“Work for” is when someone is employed by another individual or company, or if you’re trying to establish convenience of schedule you could say, “does that work for you?”.
“Apply for” usually refers to something for which you want or need, like a job, a loan, credit card, and so on.
“Apply to” can be used in terms of payment towards a loan as in “we will apply the funds to the repayment of the loan” or “apply the paint to the wall”.
I hope this helps.
